Our time in LA

9 02 2006

There was a forest fire just a little ways away

I’ve thrown up a few pics of us so far including the one above of severe LA smog… Actually it’s a forest fire that was blowing through our way – we even had ash on our car in the morning. The only real implication of said forest fire is that Heidi was not allowed in the outdoor pool and hottub – not nice at all :(

Oh, and congrats to Chris and U2 for winning big at the Grammys. And I’m sure he’d want me to mention that Kelly Clarkson did well also…

    SLC > MSP - I can like Soderbergh, I want to like Carano and the supporting cast is pretty awesome but this movie felt like a big miss. The acting was not great (that was expected), the story was incomprehensible and could only be traced by action scene to action scene and the characters were very under-developed. The stunts were (probably) all done by Carano which for the fighting scenes was pretty cool but lots of the other stuff felt like it could have been better. All told, I'd love to see her in more movies (or a tv show) even though this one was not that great.

    Good performances, interesting characters, good location, and a simple story well told. All that said, I liked it, but I didn't love it. Best quote was, "Give you kids enough money to do something but not enough to do nothing."

    An honest look at the most successful but certainly not the most loved athlete in UFC history, Anderson Silva.

  • Air Guitar Nation (2006) 7/10

    * * * * * * *

    Documentary about the rise of Air Guitar in the States and it's popularity worldwide. The first few minutes it seems to be really bizarre to be taken so seriously but by the end it begins to seem much more normal.

Tim Horton’s retired jersey

Last night I went with some colleagues to see the Buffalo vs. Phily game – good game – Buffalo won 4-2 and I got more compliments than heckles for my Habs jersey :)

I just found out that a friend of ours in MTL who had been home in PEI for awhile actually ran for MP with the NDP – holy cow – the things I don’t know about this guy!
